In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md — showing the first 30 of 42 files.
-
add-venue-profile
Creates a new venue-profile YAML for venues/conferences/ from a conference CFP URL, validates it against venues/schema.yml, and preps the contribution PR. Use when the user wants to add a venue, contribute or refresh a venue profile, encode a conference's submission requirements (deadlines, page limits, blind level, template invocation, rebuttal format, submission system) as machine-readable YAML…

anonymize-paper
Deep anonymization sweep for double-blind paper submissions, plus clean de-anonymization for camera-ready. Use when a researcher says "anonymize my paper", "double-blind check", "blind this submission", "remove author names", "did I leak my identity" — or, after acceptance, "de-anonymize" / "restore authors for camera-ready". Sweeps the whole leak surface, \author/\affiliation/\email/\orcid/\than…

assess-paper
One consolidated read on how good a paper is right now — top strengths, biggest risks, scores, and what to do next — by running the compliance, integrity, citation, conformance, and mock-review skills and summarizing them in one Paper Health Report. Use when a researcher asks "how good is my paper", "is my paper ready", "what are the strengths and weaknesses of my paper", "give me an overall asse…

benchmark-paper
Scores a draft against the measurable patterns of recent award-winning and top-cited papers at a target venue, producing a shareable venue-fit scorecard. Use when a researcher asks "score my paper", "how does my paper compare to best papers at SIGSPATIAL/NeurIPS/...", "is my paper good enough for this venue", "benchmark my draft against award winners", "rate my paper out of 10", or wants a readin…

draft-related-work
Drafts or rewrites a Related Work / prior work section positioned against actually-retrieved papers — derives the REQUIRED clusters from the paper's own claimed scope (not just whatever was retrieved), clusters prior work into themes, articulates the delta (what this paper adds) per cluster, enforces a per-cluster citation floor and routes empty expected clusters back to find-papers, follows the…

fetch-paper
Fetches a legal open-access copy of a paper from its DOI or arXiv ID — resolves through Unpaywall, arXiv PDF/HTML, and the open-access ACM Digital Library. Use when the user wants to fetch, download, read, or get the PDF or full text of a specific paper. Single polite fetch, transient processing only: it never stores paper text in the repo, never bypasses paywalls, and never uses shadow libraries…

find-papers
Searches scholarly literature with zero API keys across DBLP, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, and arXiv. Use when the user wants to find papers, search the literature, list a conference's proceedings (e.g. "all SIGSPATIAL 2025 papers"), survey related work on a topic, look up papers by author/venue/year, get DOIs or citation counts, or check recent arXiv preprints. Ships a venue-alias table that solv…

fit-page-limit
Helps a paper hit its target length: recommends exactly what to compress when it is over the page limit, or what to add with substance when it is too short. Use when a researcher says "I'm over the page limit", "compress my paper", "what should I cut", "trim two pages", "my paper is too long", "help me fit NeurIPS's limit", "my paper is too short", "I have space left, what should I add", or "wher…

make-slides
Builds a conference talk deck (Beamer or Marp markdown) from a paper draft - problem-first narrative, one claim per slide, figures reused straight from the paper's LaTeX source, sized to the real slot (12-20 minute full talk vs 5-minute lightning).

orchestrate-paper
Goal-driven conductor for the whole idea-to-published-paper lifecycle. Takes a research idea plus experiments and a target ("submit to NeurIPS 2026", or "help me pick a venue") and runs a goal->plan->execute->verify->reflect loop. It plans the stages, invokes the right lifecycle skills in order (literature-review, write-abstract, preflight-check, simulate-reviewers, and the rest), checkpoints wit…

refactor-research-code
Clean research code for public release while preserving reported results. Uses release_audit.py to separate safe mechanical cleanup from ask-first behavior risks and identity leaks.

refactor-structure
Diagnoses and fixes a paper's argument architecture and narrative flow, independent of any venue. Checks whether the story is built in the right order, whether each section does its job, whether the intro promises what the body delivers, and whether the contribution -> evidence -> conclusion arc holds — then produces a restructuring plan (move / merge / split / cut sections) the author approves B…

reflect-and-improve
The reflection agent. Use it right after another skill produces an artifact such as a rewrite from polish-prose, a rebuttal, an abstract, a preflight fix, or a tailored draft to critique that output against the stated goal, the paper's .paper-memory/profile.yml, the relevant rubric, and past .paper-memory/lessons.md, then decide whether it actually improved. Trigger words include reflect, self-cr…
